Things like not having an option to edit players once again this year is a kick in the gut....the whole work in progress thing does nothing for me in year 2 man...

That said, the focus on gameplay is nice to hear....looking forward to see what they can do...


Fair enough... but keep in mind that the live team and leadership had changed since the NBA elite 11 fiasco... this current team now is finally producing synergy as a culture in their workplace as slots are filled with talent and trustworthy individuals who is now BELIEVING that they are Better than their last product...


People might not see it but last year's game was not all bad it had some great qualities to build on and the controls , though not mind blowing, were refreshingly responsive.... last year's game was a playable scavenged from NBA live of pass very late in the dev cycle by a team that was not fully believing in themselves or the product they were working on.... doesn't seem that way to me anymore


And yes when u compare this game to its competitor with features and modes.... yes the competition has more to offer...they still are producing the best NBA title hands down IMO....but live is playing catch up to a competitor who never takes their foot off the gas... I could only imagine how hard it is narrow such a gap... exacerbated by the low budget for marketing EA is providing ....



The reality of the situation is yes certain things that should be available in NBA live are absent ...no way to get around that.... simple as that... but we can't pretend that we aren't getting some of what we asked for in NBA Live 15


Right now the game wont appeal to all of us.... and they are fully aware of it... but for those of us onboard we will hold it over until we can to a place where all of us it is appealing to or at least most of us


Like u said lets see what they can do
